Thanks for replying MT..listen ..if you and your wife plan ot come ot Lakeland..you guys can take out my boat..give me 30 days in advance ot make you a reservation for Fish Hook...

Here's the way I hooked up mine.

I drilles and bolted a piece of pressure treated into the trolling motor shield..and then screwed the transducer to the wood. working good so far..
See where I also drilled another hole to run a tie down.I also wrapped electrical tape to keep the transducer cable out of the way.
